Overview
Glenn Sanford is the Founder and CEO of eXp World Holdings and the Publisher & Managing Director of SUCCESS Enterprises. Official SUCCESS author materials describe him as a serial entrepreneur who founded eShippers.com in 1998 and later built eXp Realty into a large, cloud-based real estate brokerage model with agents across many countries. Under his leadership, SUCCESS®—the personal-development brand founded in 1897—is being repositioned as a modern platform for personal growth, leadership, and high performance.
On SUCCESS Unplugged, the official site lists him under Hosted by as Founder and CEO, eXp World Holdings / CEO, SUCCESS—the executive host of the brand’s inaugural phone-free founder retreat.
Why SUCCESS readers care
Sanford is the strategic owner of the SUCCESS ecosystem readers already use: magazine, SUCCESS.com, Coaching, Speakers, and Events. Unplugged is explicitly SUCCESS-branded; understanding who hosts it clarifies why the room exists (depth and attention for operators, not another content festival). His Publisher’s Letter columns on SUCCESS.com cover AI-era leadership, incorporation, legacy, and decision quality—the same themes Unplugged is designed to give space for offline.
